Slavisa Jokanovic has backed under-pressure goalkeeper David Button to improve following a series of errors that have led fans to question his continued selection.

While Fulham possess some of the finest attacking talent in the Championship, they have sometimes found it difficult to shut teams out at the other end of the pitch.

Button has borne the brunt of the criticism from supporters for over-playing at times and not commanding his area effectively.

The Tottenham academy graduate instantly became Jokanovic’s first-choice keeper following his summer move from west London rivals Brentford, but some high-profile mistakes against the likes of Aston Villa and Wolves have led to many fans calling for the reintroduction of Marcus Bettinelli to the starting XI.

However, the Fulham boss acknowledged that while Button can make improvements, he added that this was true for many players in the squad and backed the English shot-stopper to return to his early-season form.

‘‘Generally we believe all the players can be better. This is the same for David too,” the Whites boss said.

“He started the season very well and is an important signing for us. We can expect him to be at a good level to bring us some points during the rest of the season.’’

Fulham make the trip up the A12 to face Ipswich on Boxing Day.
